The times around Wimberly are dull,
everybody seemingly respondent.
We had the coolest weather of the season
last week followed by snow last Friday
night, about one inch deep. Having beau

Christmas is passing off quietly. Santa
Claus has been with us. He had pleasant
time with the children, his stay was short
but was enjoyed by all.
Mr. and Mrs. John A. Watson and Miss
Fannie Howard left this morning to visit
their home and many friends in San Marcos.
Miss Fannie Howard expects to visit Lock-

have pleasant stay with their friends and
return to their profession with renewed
patience.

Yell.

We have had, with slight exception, three
weeks OF wet and cold weather which culmi-
mated by the 2ad inst. into streak Of
Arctic aspect that would have been no dis
credit thousand miles due north. How
ever disagreeable frost aud snow may DO to
personal comfort and spinster tideness, 1t Is
very beneficial to the farmer, and those
who were fortunate enough TO have their
land broken will undoubtedly be benefited
by II. The stock upon the ranges being
generally thin in order would suffer good
deal. aud II there should be many spells Of
similar weather between this and April the
losses will be heavy. Stock feed Is parti,u-
larly scarce.
Mr.. ]. NJ. McCuiston, living on the Albert
Fischer place, had very narrow escape
with his life few days ago, while endeav-
oring TO prop mp an old log building, which
docs duty for stable, the whole structure
came down upon hin, making clean cut
across the forehead half round the head.
Very few in this neighborhood have made
start towards another seasons farming
and some are undecided whether TO try II
again another year or turn their hand to
something else, while Others have already
moved away. Since the opening of the Al
lance cotton yard at Kyle and the supply
of -four, salt and implements brought to the
same place through the business agency o {
the order, there has been large amount Of
trade from Blanco county concentrated at
that point. It is very cheering in these
hard times to see half dozen wagons -four
alden slowly,winding their way homewards.
Mr.. Goncher, proprietor of the cotton
gin and mill at Yell, INDUCED those who
chose to accept it, with egg-nogg and a
dance, but the weather proved damper.
The crop for the past season in this part
was all but complete failure, this was
owing altogether to drought. There will
be large increase in the acreage planted
in corn in the coming season.
The Rev. M. Yell, the oldest Methodist
preacher in the State, attended the confer
ence at Fort Worth in November. The rev.
erend gentleman who Is nearly 80 years of
age is now at home again, he reports the
whole country through which he passed,
travelling via Hearne, having suffered with
drought, and as misery loves the fellowship
of grief we are comforted.

The Dallas Convention.

That Texas is alive to her interests
has been thoroughly demonstrated
by the representation at the immigra-
ton convention at Dallas. Represen-
tative men of the state were present,
men who are the recognized leaders
in the commercial affairs of the coun-
try and whose names give weight
and strength TO everything with
which they are connected, They
came from all parts of the state, and
with the one intention and desire to
devise means and methods by which
people could be induced to come to
Texas and assist in her development
and upbuilding. Every member at
tending knew the necessity of wise
action, and while in some unimport-
ant details, friction was now and then
visible, every one seemed to work
with q will for the accomplishment
of this one great object That the
action of that convention will have a
beneficial effect there can be no doubt.
The names Of the gentlemen who at
tended will accentuste the demand
for more immigration. and the rail-
roads will lose no time in lending
their aid in the matter Of rates.
Texas can now look forward to a
genuine bOom--FOrt Worth Gazette.

As have seen nothing in your paper for
some time from our busy little village,
thought I would write and give you few
items.
Christmas is upon us with all its attend
ant gayeties and pleasures. Nature seemed
to have known and appreciated the desire
of our young folks, as she ceased the
blighting winds, drew aside her sombre
curtains, and gave the lovely sunshine, in
time for them all to have happy holiday.
And those of more matured years feel to
remember the fact that Christ brought
''peace on earth and good will to men, ="
and would realize that what ever lies be-
fore. the glory of Gods love will light
up the troubles, and brighten the joys of
life.
Rev. Mr.. Denton preached at the NJ. F..
church on Sunday to an appreciative audi

all sunshine.

Messrs. Frank Wright, Branch Pettey

Lexington KY, to attend the business col

faces will be missed and the good wishes of
all attend them. May they spend their
time proftably and return safely. Mrs
Fannie Crunk will go az far as Memphis,
Tenn, with them. She will visit her
brother whom she has not seen for thirty
years. Mr. Willie Crunk will miss his
mother very much, yet will have the sym
pathy of very few, he has no excuse for
placing himself upon the old bachelors
list He is rather good looking, has plenty
of the "wherewith" to provide a happy

don't do it before the return of his mother
some of his friends will always think he
ought to. MORE ANON.

PIT. Barnum Writes a Story.

The opening chapters of splendid story
for the young, by the famous Snowman, 2.
T. Barnum, appears this week in the COL
umns of the New York Family Story Paper.
The story describes the adventures of an
American boy, whom Mr.. Barnum calls
my Plueky Boy Tom," and whom he sent
to India in search of wild, fierce and rare
animals to replace those destroyed by the
disastrous fire at Bridgeport last month.
The reader is thrilled by the hair-breadth es-
-capes of this dauntless American boy when
capturing the fiercest and widest animals
ever seen in any travelling show. The New

Fire at KYLE.

A special to the Stateman of the 26th
says:
A fire was discovered in the Howard Oil
company building last night, which was
stored with something over one hundred
tons of hay, belonging to Landa Bros, of
San Antonio. Owing to most of the citi-
zens being at church, the fire was under
good Roadway before it was discovered,
and when the fire reached there, nothing
could be done to save the property. The
loss on hay is about one thousand dollars,
and about as much more on the house
both insured. The side-track that ran
alongside of the building was full of stock
cars, and it was by hard work that they
were saved.

Tuesday afternoon was set apart for the

Tuesday night the scanty remnant of

at Hofheinze new hotel, the first entertain

port, but of course it was sadly enjoyable
occasion to this forlorn and stricken band.
An incident of this occasion was serenade
to the club offered by hack-full of charm
ing ladies in front of the hotel, whom the
crew within. we learn, did not con-
descend to recognize in any way whatever.
Conduct 80 infamous will, no doubt, find
its proper reward in the deprivation of all
attention from the ladies. during the coming
leap year.
